supported min BOINC version is now 7.1After a longer discussion and some problems with some of the results I have decided to set the min BOINC version to 7.1.

The computing power was beyond the 40TFLOP mark. KEP is still working on a more precise stats overview and will be released maybe in January 2018 so stay tuned.

The next upcoming llr app will have a new gwnum lib with full AMD Ryzen support but I dont know when it will be released.

Due the lack of available sievefiles there are some gaps in the work generation. The remaining primes for these bases are very high, the tests are going over a million. The project cannot handle so many files into one folder thats why they must be splitted into some batches.

The yoyo@home project took over the sieving part for CRUS / SRBase. More and more new sievefiles will be available in the future in a short time period. If you want to help there enable sieving in prefs.

A big thx to the Gridcoin team for the amazing computing power in the past months and of course all the other users / teams spend their power to bring the project forward.

For those who are interested in the public paper for SRBase this is now ready for download.. I will add a link on the frontpage soon. If you have any questions about it let us discuss this in the forum.

base S263 cancelled (average app)I have forgot to change and removed all WUs, 200 WUs were sent out before I noticed that. Please abort all of this batch. Sorry for the trouble.12 Nov 2017, 17:47:43 UTC

new badges onlineI have reworked some of the older badges and there are now 2 new badges for Bases solved and Megaprimes found. You can find them in the FAQ. Good luck to everyone to collect them in the future!

Short notice:
There could be a short downtime to install some updates. After that I will work on the url change and do some tests. If you have still WUs in progress be hurry to send them back or cancel all.13 Aug 2016, 13:18:53 UTC

Project updateThe average app is set to beta. If you have enable "Run beta apps" in prefs disable it. This will increase all the current in progress work to have done in time. After that the url will be changed for the remaining work in the database. You must reattach to the new domain found on the frontpage. After the server cache is deleted the old url will no longer be working.

The second change is a short test after the cache is deleted.

Another plan is to add new badges for base solved and Megaprimes as requested. You can still discuss this in forum. All other badges will be get a small redesign.

If all is going as planned a lot of new work will be available soon.9 Aug 2016, 19:41:27 UTC

Database corruptedThere was an index of the results table corrupt causing mysql to crashing too. After 10h of trying to repair the database (exporting the corrupt table and reimport after flushing) it seems its running again. I hope nothing is lost.

webserver downDue the high amount of new hosts attached today this killed the webserver. Nearly 300+ hosts are trying to get new apps over the slow upload connection. There was also reached the max connections to the database. I cant do anything at the moment because the bottleneck is the upload of 2Mbit. I will order 6Mbit upload next time but this will not help much.

There is no problem if all hosts have work but all at once kill every server.

Sorry for the downtime. I will try to tweaking some things but there is only a small hope to get it run better.8 Jul 2016, 14:48:29 UTC

TOP5000 prime notificationDue to lack of responds from users I will keep you informed to check your PMs or if you have enabled the email notification your emails if you have found a TOP5000 prime. In the past I have reported most of the primes by myself because there was no reply within 1-2 weeks. Please keep your teammembers informed for the current situation. In the future the TOP5000 primes will be more and more because of the higher n ranges.

New Megaprime foundOn 24th of March, cpuid has found a megaprime 12*68^656921+1 for base S68. The prime has 1.203.815 digits. cpuid is a member of the team Seti.Germany. It was the largest prime ever found by SRBase and reduced the base to 1k.

LLR Version 3.8.17 deployedI have updated all apps to the latest version. You can find the changes here.

Please notice that the server reset the GFLOPs values to zero by every new app setup so you will have wrong estimated runtimes. This will be corrected if you have sent back some WUs.

I cannot test the app on xp64 but it should be working.

SRBase - 1 year reviewThe project has passed the first year and made a big jump in processing for the mersenne CRUS project.

There were 87M WUs / 273 bases crunched in different ranges. 1 of the bases was solved. 314 bases are still unstarted and will be processed by mersenne with the srbsieve /newpgen applications. All the efforts are outside of BOINC. Most of the ranges at 25k+ will be processed further in BOINC.
706,158,895,759,737 Total k's are still remaining to find a factor. It sounds big but isnt. Only 2 bases R/S280 has the most factors of all bases together. On a single CPU it will take around 250+ years to solve them but in the near future we could start some ranges on these 2 heavy weights and with BOINC and your help it will be decreasing faster as we think.

The main goal of the project is still to have around 20TFLOPs+ computing power.

The source code of the wrapper is available in the forum if you have some improvements. There is still one issue on mac and linux where I have no output in the stderr.txt file.

If you have some wishes or there is something missing in the FAQ let me know.

Whats planned in the future?
To have constantly work for one of the normal / short apps + processing all current available bases with a 200-400k range and 1 factor left.

SRBase passing 1 year soonOn 27th of November the project will be passing the first year. If you want to spend some computing power or a challenge this would be great.

To get rid of the "finish file present too long" you need to install the BOINC client 7.6.6 or higher. Please also enable email notification to keep you informed if you have found a TOP5000 prime to report.6 Nov 2015, 19:19:24 UTC

For all new users please create an account over the website. You will find the invitation code on frontpage and in the FAQ thread. Please take care about the weather or high temperatures to run the apps. You need a really good cooling to avoid any instable systems or producing bad results.

Its highly recommended to use the latest BOINC client 7.6.6. It has some important fixes and avoid some issues here.

slow work generationThe work generation started for R3 early this morning but still running after 12h. There is no work left for the other sub apps and the server is under heavy load causing clients not getting work or sporadic work for the very short R3 WUs.

To get rid of the problem in the future I need to split the WU generation for these (864000 WUs). There is no issue with a mix of some minutes WUs and the shorts but I underestimated the creation time. Iam in preparation to get out of the beta status. There are some things left before I can do this.

Reset of host / user RACsTo get the right results back in top users and top hosts I have reset all RACs to 0 again due the last R3 bug in template.17 Jan 2015, 8:45:50 UTC

Number of Primes - listI will update this list after every run except the R3 base. You will find the link on the frontpage.

Downtime today for RAM upgrade (complete)At 5pm UTC+1 today I will shut down the server for the upgrade. The downtime should not take longer than 15min.13 Jan 2015, 15:43:26 UTC

cleanupAfter all runs I need a cleanup. There were still some older input files not deleted by BOINC in download folder and resused for the current bases. Also there are a lot of files missing for base S911 and S920 and need to retest.10 Jan 2015, 11:52:54 UTC

unexpected downtimeIam using the latest fritzbox and every night there is a restart of the box. The problem is known by my provider and the box is still in development. They even switched it from IP4 to IP6 last night. I called a staff and he has rechanged IP4 again - for now..

In the next days until end of January it can happen again. The deadline for future WUs are longer now to not loose any credits after the deadline. I will try to change the deadline for all current WUs to give credits for them.

max success resultsI will change the value to 2 for the next WUs. All results which are over the deadline should get credits too and not invalid.4 Jan 2015, 9:26:18 UTC

Decreasing deadlinesMany WUs are running into timeout and it will take very long to get them back if they will be sent out again and again. If your host cant finish a WU in time like the long runners pls disable the app in your preferences. The main reason is that I cant add new work until all files are returned. This wastes a lot of time time. I will decrease all deadlines for new WUs.3 Jan 2015, 18:08:24 UTC

boinc server config changesTo get more work out of the small R3 base I have changed something in config.xml to increase the feeder size and shmem size. There was also a need in changing kernel.shmmax to 134217728. Lets hope its running better now without no work messages.27 Dec 2014, 14:15:18 UTC

New apps soonI will add 2 more apps, one for short runs and one for long (2h+). I will constantly create WUs for R3 until all primes are found in the range from 20M-1G.27 Dec 2014, 8:38:55 UTC

Plans for running multiple basesI have planned to run different apps with different bases at the same time. I need to recode the assimilator to get different output folders so I can manage the amount of files. This needs some testing first. In this case I will give a longer deadline.23 Dec 2014, 19:23:57 UTC

New tests for linux soon (started)The internal test of the linux64 was successful. The zip compression of the llr app has still the execute bit so I dont need the copy_file tag anymore. The text file busy error could be fixed now but need some tests first for linux32 and linux64. If all is going well and the OSX app has the same issue I will change it too.23 Dec 2014, 10:06:58 UTC

double checkingAt the current config on server a double check is not possible with the current validator. I need to rerun a complete base with quorum 1 to compare both results in excel. Its the same as running quorum 2 but takes a little more effort to the end result.

OSX tests later todayFor all MAC users, hello zombie67 ;) I will add a 32/64 bit version later today.

Iam looking for someone who can compile the mac wrappers 32/64bit and linux wrappers 32/64bit (on ubuntu 10.04 with glibc2.10 support or similar OS). Send me a PM if you are willing to help here, I will send you the source code.

New tests soonI will add some more tests soon for win32 and linux. Also a quorum 2 will be setup with bitwise validator and homogeneous redundancy. Its needed to double check the residues of output files to make sure nothing is bad.

New apps are preparedfor linux32/64 and win32. If the rest of the WUs are done the next test with some smaller numbers (around 2-3s per test) will be setup. I have also removed the compression of output files.

The Riesel Base R920 is reserved with 7244 WUs with a runtime of 2-7min (AVX) per WU.

Next plansAfter the rest of the WUs are finished I will add some tests for linux32/64 and windows 32bit with double checking (quorum 2). If I find a way with help from primegrid I could change the validation process.
